Sound from the Deep

This is a very generous 4/10, I really don't have too many good things to say about this Lovecraftian short film. The landscape shots and special effects looked great and Sofia's actor did good.

I really wanted to like the movie but I can't overlook the clunky acting, nonexistent thrills and bad sound mixing and a cheesy ending. I wished for a more psychological approach instead of this.

When they first hear the sound it gets messed with the soundtrack and overall it sounds a bit bad, it would've been a lot more scary if they'd cut off the background music. A man shouting in a room sounds more like he's in a different room, again, because the soundtrack gets too loud there.

Scenes at the table look very bad, the camera angles were really distracting and the actors seemed bored. Some of the lines (it's gas, what else could make that sound) are terrible.

I didn't like the lead actor at all. He looks like he wasn't really cast and he somehow accidentally got caught in the filming process and he didn't want to say anything. His character felt nothing more than a prop reacting to stuff around him. It really didn't feel like he was going crazy at all, just frowning and saying lines in front of a camera.
